Panthers' Jalen Coker: Questionable with quad injury
Coker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City after missing Friday's practice with a quadriceps injury.
An end-of-week addition to the injury report isn't good news, and Coker's role was already somewhat in flux due to the impending return of Adam Thielen (who is listed as questionable but expected to play). The undrafted rookie presumably has shown enough that the Panthers will want to keep playing him, even if that means moving him out of the slot and to the perimeter in an effort to accommodate Thielen. Unfortunately, we won't get to see the new plan if Coker ends up on the inactive list 90 minutes ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Team-high yardage total in OT win
Coker brought in three of eight targets for 41 yards in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday.
Coker's yardage total, modest as it was, led the Panthers on the day, as did his career-high target tally. The undrafted rookie has displayed good chemistry with Bryce Young and is now boasting a 9-155-1 line on 17 targets in the latter's three-game starting stint. With Diontae Johnson now in Baltimore, Coker should continue to enjoy a prominent role during a Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24 following a Week 11 bye, although Adam Thielen (IR, hamstring) is expected back for that game.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Quiet in Week 9
Coker caught two of his three targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Saints.
Coker was held without a catch in the second half of Sunday's win; however, the rookie from Holy Cross still finished with the most receiving yards among Panthers wideouts. The 23-year-old's role in Carolina's offense appears likely to continue growing after Diontae Johnson was traded to the Ravens on Oct. 29, and he and the Panthers will next face the Giants in Week 10.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Scores first career TD
Coker caught four of six targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.
The rookie led the Panthers in receiving yards on the day, and Coker capped his performance with his first career touchdown as he hauled in a 15-yard toss from Bryce Young in the fourth quarter. Over the last four games, the undrafted wideout out of Holy Cross has posted a respectable 12-186-1 line on 14 targets, but Coker's role in Carolina's passing game will hinge on the health of Diontae Johnson (ribs) and Adam Thielen (hamstring) -- assuming the veteran receivers don't get shipped out before the trade deadline.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Chance to step up with Johnson out
Coker could play a larger role Sunday against the Broncos, as the Panthers will be without wide receivers Diontae Johnson (ribs) and Adam Thielen (hamstring), Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports.
With Johnson ruled out and Thielen still on IR, Coker will be part of a shorthanded Panthers receiving corps that also includes Xavier Legette, David Moore and Jonathan Mingo. That group will be catching passes from Bryce Young, who is getting the start under center in place of Andy Dalton (thumb). Coker had 68 receiving yards against the Bears in Week 5, but that is the only time he has exceeded 30 receiving yards.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Quiet in Week 7
Coker caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders.
The rookie wideout struggled along with the rest of Carolina's offense in Sunday's blowout loss, but he still finished third on the team in receiving yards, trailing Ja'Tavion Sanders (61) and Diontae Johnson (17). Coker will likely continue to serve as the Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver until Adam Thielen (hamstring) returns from injury. However, with Carolina's recent offensive struggles, he'll likely find it difficult to be fantasy-relevant without finding the end zone.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Catches three passes vs. Falcons
Coker caught three of his four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.
The rookie served as the Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) on Sunday. Coker's 30 receiving yards ranked third on the Panthers, finishing behind both Diontae Johnson (78) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (49). Carolina's defense gave up 30-plus points for the third consecutive week, and Coker could continue benefiting from positive game scripts while Thielen remains sidelined. Expect the Holy Cross product to serve as Carolina's third wide receiver again in Week 7, when the Panthers play the Commanders.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Steps up in Week 5
Coker caught all four of his targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bears.
The Holy Cross product was the biggest beneficiary of Xavier Legette's (shoulder) absence during Sunday's loss, as Coker caught all three of his targets for 37 yards in the second half. With Jonathan Mingo's struggles and injuries to both Legette and Adam Thielen (hamstring), Coker could have an opportunity to see increased offensive work as the season progresses, especially if he continues to perform as he did in Week 5. Expect the rookie to serve as Carolina's No. 3 wide receiver in Week 6 when the Panthers take on the Falcons.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Set to play

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Questionable after full practice
Coker (foot) practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said all players listed as questionable have a good chance to suit up Sunday, per Joe Person of The Athletic. That lends optimism to the notion that Coker will be able to suit up versus Chicago. Coker handled a depth role in his regular-season debut Week 4, and he failed to secure his only target.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Gets downgraded
Coker (foot) did not practice Thursday.
Coker was a full participant Wednesday, suggesting he may have injured his foot in practice. A late-week downgrade isn't typically a good sign for a player's weekend availability, but the Holy Cross product will try and get back on the field Friday ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bears.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Joining active roster
The Panthers will sign Coker to the 53-man roster Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Coker will be added to the roster as a replacement for Adam Thielen (hamstring), who will be placed on injured reserve. An undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross, Coker failed to make the Panthers' roster coming out of the preseason but secured a spot on the practice squad. Now that he's been promoted, Coker is expected to serve as a depth piece in Carolina's wide receiver room until Thielen returns.
